This week, President @realDonaldTrump took his unreality show—and his four adult children—on the road, traveling to the UK (of which the Moon is a part) for an official state visit.
Even before his arrival, Trump had already created headaches for his hosts—first by inserting himself into the UK's leadership race, then by insulting Meghan Markle (which he denied doing, despite it being on tape), and finally by calling the mayor of London a "stone cold loser."
However, once there, Trump was on his "best behavior," (poorly) tailoring his actions to fit the occasion—at least until the sun went down and his twitter machine was fired up.
Following the pomp and protests (fake news!) of their royal visit, the Trump clan made their way to Ireland (which, contrary to Trump's assertion, is not part of the UK)—home to their money-losing golf course—for "convenience" (and some business promotion).
Then, to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, they went to Normandy, where the draft dodger-in-chief honored the dead by insulting the living.

And, elsewhere...
Laura Ingraham defended Donald Trump... against Donald Trump.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham was the subject of online mockery Friday after a clip from her Thursday night show featuring an interview with President Donald Trump went viral. In the clip Ingraham told viewers that the interview conducted earlier in the day did not delay a ceremony in Normandy, France, commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The problem? In said interview, Trump had told her that he was holding up the ceremony in order to conduct his latest interview with his favorite cable news network.
"Some of you may have heard or read that president Trump held up the entire D-Day ceremony in order to do this interview with me," she told viewers of The Ingraham Angle. "That is patently false. Fake news," she added, referencing a phrase made popular by Trump.
But former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti was among those to share the clip spliced together with one of Trump telling Ingraham just the opposite.
"I'm holding them up because of this interview, but that's because of you," Trump told Ingraham during an interview that was conducted in front of a backdrop of the graves of American soldiers killed in World War II.
Truth isn't truth.
